Personal Learning Journal
This is where I get to journal about my personal life. Things that are happening with my family, my own psyche, dog, trips, etc. I love looking back and being able to read about moments in time. It brings me so much joy and nostalgia and hopefully an inside peek into my life for any casual viewers.
We left Chiang Mai early in the morning. Our flight to Phuket was at 9:40 am and we wanted to get there two hours before take off, so we left the hotel at 7:00 am. This gave us enough time to grab a quick bite to eat in the executive lounge and then we headed […]
Final day in Chiang Mai on my second visit. I forgot how long it’s been since I’ve been here. I began my trip in early September, first stop being Chiang Mai, and three months later I’m back. Everything is still very familiar and exactly as I remember but where we’re located now there are a

Today we went on our Chiang Rai tour. It’s a 13.5 hour tour that starts at 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. We drove to Chiang Rai to see the White temple and then the furthest point you can go in Thailand that reaches Laos and Myanmar (previously called Burma) called the Golden Triangle. We were

We completely missed the mark today with our tour planning. We had it set in our minds that we didn’t have anything planned today and that it was just a day to explore on our own. We were sorely mistaken and abruptly woken up from much-needed rest by a phone call from the front desk

I’m surprised I’m still functioning with the amount of sleep I’ve been getting. The past four days, I’ve gotten 10 hours of total sleep. I woke up at 4:30 am today so that I could pack the rest of my stuff and also fold my laundry that just finished moments before I woke. Thankfully, it

Annnnnd that’s a wrap for Bangkok! I’ve now had three stints with Bangkok. The first was for two months, then 2 weeks before leaving to Ko Lanta, Singapore, and Bali then back to Bangkok for two weeks before Jason got in, and now the vacation part of Bangkok. I’m stunned that this trip is coming

I’m exhausted. I only had 30 minutes of sleep last night and today was a full day starting at 5:30 am. We had two tours booked for today. The first one was to check out the train market/floating market in Damnoen Saduak and at night a tour of Bangkok in a Tuk Tuk. Our tour

Today was unreal! It’s been so surreal that I had a grin on my face the entire day. It was the last day in the condo near On Nut BTS station and today begins the “vacation” mode of the Southeast Asia trip. I thought I was not going to enjoy it because I want to

I’m pooped! It’s 3:32 am right now, and I just finished booking our tours for Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. We’re going to have a pretty epic trip through Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong. I also just finished getting my visa on arrival for Vietnam. Since today was my last day going solo on this trip,

I’m in disbelief that it has been 12 days since I’ve been back in Bangkok. I literally just told someone I was just in Bali a week ago. The days have flown by. My buddy is already flying in and he’ll be here on the 5th. It’s crazy that the trip is now winding down.
